"Kids consume over 7000 calories in one night eating Halloween candy"... talk about total buzzkill guest to have.

Huh? Did I misunderstand what she said? What kid would consume 7000 calories in one night of eating little fun size candy bars, sweet tarts, and skittles? If she isn't letting her kids have ANY candy, that is just way too controlling. There is nothing wrong with a few pieces one night of the year. One of these days, those poor kids are going to break free and gorge themselves with all kinds of junk food.

Her husband probably hides junk food under the floorboards, and he and the kids have a party when she's off promoting her 23894762389572th project.

She does, but she manipulates them into eating none-to-little of it by asking them what they hope to get and saying things like "well, I hope you have enough candy to trade for that."

Yeah, I don't have a problem with that at all. Though ultimately, I think she's wasting her time. In my experience, kids seem to forget about the candy pretty quickly anyway. It's exciting the night of but not as much afterwards.

Her costume was funny and her being scared was funny, but if Ellen wasn't the hist I don't think I could tolerate AS. She is so freaking hyper and it super annoying. I do love how Ellen seems to like to make AS do stuff where she looks foolish, like that time she shoved AS into the giant Jenga game.

I think they promote BL more because that's the nature of the entertainment biz -- soaps just aren't thought of seriously. At all. I keep wishing some producer out there will grab up Sweeney for some prime time show and she leaves Days.

And WTF at her letting her kids trick or treat, but then taking away all their candy. She invented the "Switch Witch" - so she bribes her kids into giving away all of their Halloween candy and then buys them a toy for it. :eyeroll::facepalm:

Like OMG yes, you're Princess Fitness and Health... but they're kids... can't you let them live a little for one time of the year?

To be fair she explained that they do eat some of their candy and it's their choice if they want to trade it in.

Alison seems like a nice person, but she's pretty strict with her kids. A little bit of candy isn't going to hurt anything. Granted, they can eat a little and trade it in for a toy, but I don't think that's a choice a young kid should have to make. Besides, Christmas is less than two months away, so I'd eat all the candy I got and wait for the toy at Christmas.

Ali seems like a helicopter mom to me..hovering over her kids and controlling everything they do. That may work now, but once they get to that middle school age, that becomes real difficult to keep up. You simply can't control what they do all the time when they are 13 or 14.
